Drew Brees Breaks the Record, 48 Straight Games With a Passing Touchdown

Congratulations to Drew Brees for establishing another record. Sean Payton looked on as his quarterback threw a touchdown pass for the 48th straight game, stretching back to the Super Bowl season of 2009.

You'll be waking up a little more awesome tomorrow.

I also feel bad for him, because he will be wasting the rest of his career saddled by this defensive vacuum.

If (as Lisk reports) top QBs get a TD in 90-95% of their games, the chance of having a TD in 48 straight games is approx

92.5^48 = 0.023

So a top QB who plays 48 games, he has a 2.3% chance to get the record.

The impressiveness really requires it to be consecutive starts… since very few QBs play 50 straight games. I’d be more impressed by 50 straight games than having TD’s in those 50, but I don’t think the record is quite as insignificant as Lisk would have you believe.
